    The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights is proclaiming that “We Are Everywhere.”  In partnership with Healthwise and the Downtown Business Association, the tagline now appears on billboards, yard signs and banners throughout Idaho.

    “We Are Everywhere” reminds us that people of goodwill, that people who believe in compassion, equality, justice, love, respect and kindness are in fact everywhere.

    However, we know that there are those in the community who have not felt the love and kindness, that for some equality and justice seem more aspirational than attainable.  Hatred exists – but so does love.

    We would like to thank everyone that participated in this years Idaho Gives Campaign. This year generous 1friends of the community donated over $32,478 well above our $19,000 goal, from just 264 donors!

    Again we cannot thank you enough and this really shows that We Are Everywhere with compassion, equality, justice, love, respect and kindness. 🙂

    Welcome progress has been made since the late Bill Wassmuth first stood up to bigotry and hatred in northern Idaho.
    But the need for human rights education grows with every new generation of Idaho children.
    Today’s headlines only remind us there’s much more to be done.

    Human Rights Certification

    For the individual, certification is formal recognition of a specific skill set that focuses on human rights and human dignity.  For a business or organization, having employees or members who have earned certification is evidence that value statements are backed by knowledgeable, thoughtful, and meaningful commitments.
